Overthinking Reset

“I have to figure this out before I sleep.”

“I have to solve this before I can sleep.”

When your voice says:

“I have to solve this before I can sleep.”

“If I stop thinking now, it’ll be worse tomorrow.”

Coach Lynn says:

Nighttime thinking often feels urgent because there are fewer distractions. That does not mean the best thinking has to happen now.

Then you say:

Here’s what I need to do:

Take one or more Composure Breaths to settle my body.
Write the problem and the next possible action on paper.
Set a specific time tomorrow to revisit it.
Give myself permission to rest before it is solved.

Coach Lynn says:

Your tired mind doesn’t have to solve tomorrow tonight. Rest clears the noise, restores your strength, and helps you wake up ready for the day.
